Case Study: Publicly Held Company stops bot-driven stock attack with Resolver

Bot attack designed to short stock stopped short

A publicly held company faced a sudden wave of negative social media chatter targeting its founder just ahead of a quarterly earnings release, and the executive team needed to quickly determine who was behind it and why. Resolver was brought in to help investigate the suspicious online activity and assess the threat.

Using Resolver’s Risk Intelligence Graph and human intelligence team, the company identified false allegations and uncovered an automated bot network amplifying the claims. Resolver’s findings were shared with the legal investigations team, helping expose a coordinated attack designed to short the stock of the company.
